Dissertation Prize informally comunicated but not yet awarded

[MarinaLazarus]

Hi,

I don't know if it is the best place to ask about this topic but I hope it would be fine!

After the end of my master degree, my tutor (and program director) told me informally that they were very happy with my dissertation and that the board wants to award me the Prize for Best Dissertation of the year and that an "official letter will follow soon." This was October, and I asked him about the Prize two more times by email (I changed address so I communicated the new address and the last time I asked if I could mention the Prize in my CV even if it hasn't awarded officially, yet) and he always replied that he had to arrange things. Is that normal? Are prizes usually awarded a year after, or in a specific period of the year? I don't know what "arrange things" means.... About the CV he told me that I should mention it so it means that he hasn't changed idea...

I have also some doubts about the word "Prize" as I am not a native speaker... does it mean that they will award me money or ?

Thank you

I don't think about here you can help in this issue, as well in the past three years I just won a prize in writing a dissertation by (Dissertation Bliss) ( http://www.dissertationtbliss.co.uk ), and they awarded me within four days. I would suggest you read the guidelines and ask from any be live people.
